Seems that it was purchased and parked in a garage, wasn't being paid for nor being insured, and the credit union reposessed it. They wholesale'd it to the Sewell Ford/Lincoln/Mecury dealership, who was just getting into Internet sales. There were three bidders that would have paid $17 for it(including me), but I had been in contact with them from the time the car came up for bid and we had a good raport going, since they knew nothing about Miatas, and.....well.....I know a little bit! In an effort to get good sales and positive responses, they gave me first dibs on it and felt I would give them good feedback, which I definitely will. The other two bidders were just re-sellers and ya never know with them. They're just in it for the money. I got it for a little over $4000 under "S" Plan.
    Very Nice!

    Is this a Sport, or not??? It says 5-speed in the ad, but the Sport came with a 6-speed in 2006.

    That was one of my concerns when I first started looking at it. 17" wheels and a 5-speed? Never been such an animal, even though I liked the idea. I finally got a copy of the REAL dealer invoice and it shows MX5 SP 6P. As I said, they didn't know much about the car. He also verifed it was a 6-speed, and if you look closely at the picture of the interior you can see it on the shift knob. It's a zero option car, so it doesn't have the sport suspension, but I prefer something a little better than non-adjustable bilsteins

    At least you can rest easy that it hasn't had any McWrath special repairs done. Or maybe the 6speed knob was left in it?

    Not stock:




    So apparently the RPF1's are the wheels of choice for MX-5 guys.

    They are very light for there sizes and look great.

    Shelley asked me the same thing last night! I guess I should. Maybe Sunny #2 and the 93LE. I've also got Morris' 90 silver in the barn, that should go too.
